Sons of Anarchy Finale Spoilers Leak Thanks to Book Mishap

Spoilers for this week's Sons of Anarchy series finale have leaked after copies of the show's companion book were shipped early.

The Sons of Anarchy: The Collector's Edition book -- which was supposed to be released the day after the finale airs -- contains detailed episode breakdowns, behind the scenes info, photos, and personal messages from the cast.

The show's creator, Kurt Sutter, penned a passionate apology to those who have had the finale spoiled by the book:

"It has been brought to my attention that our SOA Collector's Edition Book has been sent out a week early by some distributors and book outlets. This book contains details about the final episode of the series. This, my friends is a storyteller's worst nightmare. I wanted this book to be a compliment to the show. It contains personal messages and photos from the cast, in-depth behind the scenes information and detailed breakdown of episodes. It's a smart, well-conceived book that I was very excited for the fans to have. AFTER the motherf***ing finale. There are a thousand f***ing people I can blame. And I assure you, by the time I am done, my f***ing basket will be filled with heads of incompetent c***s. But as far as the fans go, the burden is on me. I f***ed up. It was my idea for the book, so ultimately, I am to blame. So if you received a book, I apologize. I ask that you not share your wrath or pain or opinion in social media so as to not spoil the experience of others. There is no excuse for utter ineptitude. It pains me that this will be the parting memory of some fans. I hope you all tune in for the finale. It plays much better than it reads."

The Sons of Anarchy series finale airs on FX December 9 at 10 p.m.
